This is yet another auto-builder for Flightgear and for the time being specific to Windows 64bit ONLY. It is particularly geared toward building FG with the latest incarnation of the osgEarth integration. The simple minded script attempts to download all needed and hopefully manages conflicts with your user/system environment variables properly. Also, a minimal sized fgdata is downloaded as a starting point.

It is a work in progress and will be refined over time. Hopefully Linux and Mac versions will follow. It is proves to work well, I plan to update the wiki.

Thanks for doing this! I'm excited to try it! I didn't achieve success on my first pass though... where does the "install" directory get created? Everything apparently downloaded, but it seems to have never actually built the project. Was I supposed to run cmake and fire up visual studio on my own, or is it supposed to autobuild everything?

If successful, the install directory will be created in the fgbuild directory. Can you confirm that you have Visual Studio 2010 installed? Also, can you copy the contents of the console output and post it here?

Ah, my apologies, problem is up the toolchain from flightgear. Been doing some late night development over here and forgot that I had a problem installing the Windows SDK component, apparently because I have a newer version of VS 2010 than they're trying to install for me. Will report back when I get that sorted.

Okay, finally got Windows SDK happily installed, apparently, but am now getting other problems. (I have not yet tried deleting everything and starting over, now that I have the SDK installed, but might do that next.) Anyway, the log starts to show problems here, I think:

Huh, well it was a long shot, but deleting all and starting from scratch didn't solve anything. I'm very unclear on what exactly all of the different parts of the visual studio c++ package do, but I noticed that after uninstalling all my redistributables and runtimes, I was finally able to install the windows sdk, but after that I still did not see the older version of the redistributable on my list of installed programs.

Since the fix from microsoft for my version problem said it was okay to go back and install your newer version of the redistributable after the sdk installed, I also tried that, so now I see it on my list of programs, however I do not see the "runtime" application there, which I also deleted while trying to install the sdk...

Sigh, thanks Microsoft... Anyway, gotta run at the moment but will poke around at it again later.
